AI traffic at airports: Proper parking

[billb1981 0]

Hey guys, was hoping you all could help me with another one....

I've got GSX Level 2 installed and AIG one click installer for my AI traffic.  When I land at most airports, Delta planes for example are scattered all over the terminals, same with all of the other AI planes I have.  I know I can go into the airport editor and edit the signs on the gates in GSX, but was curious is there a certain AFCAD file for these airports?  Obviously in FSX I would load different AFCAD files, but wasn't sure if that was the same in Prepar3d.  I've done some googling and looking but coming up with a variety of different answers.  Obviously I don't mind doing the leg work to assign aircraft to gates at my popular airports, but was curious where I would start.

 

Thanks again,

Gate codes work the same in P3D as they do in FSX, customising AFCAD`s work the same also you need the V4 version of ADE for the latest P3D.

You need the parking codes correct to make things work.

You can also take a look at the AFCAD section over at https://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php , where a lot of the add-on airports are covered with modified AFCAD. Also, Urmel81 has uploaded his great work at https://jcai.dk/tag/urmel81/

Another thing to remember beyond parking codes, is that the sim uses the half wing span value to park AI aircraft.  The key value is wing_span in the AI aircrafts aircraft.cfg file (it's in meters).   If the parking spot is too small for one-half of the wing_span value, the aircraft will not park there, even if the code matches in ADE.

I'm sure that is detailed in the AIG forum linked above.
